I dont know if this is what they call Phishing Scam because Facebook keeps intimating me saying it is some scam like that or I dont even know if its hacked.As far as I can recall I havent meddled with the password settings nor made any changes whatsoever.
Whatever be the case, I cant get thru my facebook account anymore.I got so bloody jacked! I am hoping the account just remains inactive throughout and in the meantime I'll spread word that I am not on that social networking site anymore.I wonder why such things keep happening only to me? This is the second time its happening and now I am sick of this nonsense.
I'll just keep away from social networking sites from now on till the need arises someday in the future and if I am really keen on it.
Spread word.
Thank you.

VW - Das Auto !
Its past 12 o clock and I have been trying to make sense of the Pilot plant subject portion.A few parts did make sense and then now nothing seems to be going into my head so instead of calling it an early night I came up here not deciding what to post at all.
So vaguely I'll start off by saying that my project is finally coming to an end. All that mad running around to CPRI is finally paying off and my project has turned out pretty well so far.Thankfully we dont have to work on the report now, we can do it after the external theory exams.Thats a sigh of relief esp when the exams are just more than a week away.As always the preparations have just begun after running around for the last set of internals.
I dont know if I am looking forward to the time after the exams,initially I was happy all this is finally over but now I am not too sure if I am happy with it.I think I have roughly two months off till I think of doing something else which is still very uncertain.
Now I'll move on to something I've been very fascinated bout - The new Volkswagon Polo in India.It was launched a few months back and yet most people are not aware of the brand value.Still people stick to the very old Maruti and Hyundai when polo costs nothing more than what they cost.It lies in the same segment and offers the same mileage as the Ritz.Ritz offers a 21kmpl and Polo 22kmpl for a Diesel engine.Ritz diesel costs in the range of 4.63 lac to 5.20 lac depending on those LDI,VDI versions.Polo starts at 5.32lac and goes upto 6.7lac.When you consider buying the Swift fully loaded you end up paying a little more than 6lac and then even the Hynudai I20 goes more than 7lac for a fully loaded diesel version.Why chose i20 when you have Polo! There is a difference ofcourse here in Polo, the German Engineering involved.You pay for perfection at the end of the day.
Das Auto.German Engineering.Now Made in India.
I'll take leave now as its past 1 I guess.Rest soon.Cheers!

Keep talking..
I apologize for not having written here in a while.I really havent had the time to do so and recently when I came back to the 'New post' page I totally forgot what I wanted to say so I shut the window right away.
Right now I can say I am almost an engineer,I am not very sure what I have learnt all these four years and if they will actually benefit me in the coming years.I hope they do,even if its in the smallest possible way.This is officially the last week of engineering, as we have our farewell on the 10th of May.After that I am hoping classes wouldn be held.Project and seminar itself is bad enough to chew my brains.From what I last spoke to my project mate Suma,she told me our project will be completed by this weekend.Phew! Thats a lot of relief but then again I am sure I'll have to read up on everything possible and start typing out the report as soon as possible.Every damn thing looks so crammed up in the coming week, I have no idea as to how much is actually possible.3rd round of internals too are being held around the same time.Its pure madness and I am already dreading the start of next week.
I thank all my friends for making these 4 years bearable in BMS.For all the fun times.I will take only a few names starting with the hostelites ( IH )
Karan,Sandeep,Pankaj,Ann,Payal,Radhika,Leroy,Shahnawaz,Abidi,Samad,Rahul Radhakrishnan,Rami
And now to a few more..
Varun,Shruthi D,Rita,Hemanth,Prajwal,Shiva,Abhishek,Mayank,Cheta(Ankit) and Vivek.

Salaam Bombay!
Mumbai..Hey Ganpat chal..
So yes finally to account for the 50 marks in the sylabbus my department has painfully organised a trip to Mumbai ONGC.As they took a lot of effort they have made it cumpulsory to go for the trip and even if anyone already has a report to submit will not be considered.They will be marked zero.There is no doubt that the dept is not fair but like they care.We keep going to the Computer lab every 3 weeks or so for the staff upraisal/staff evaluation.No matter how harsh we are in the grading they still dont want to change their damn approach to the students.I am sure there is only one or two sir's who gets a positive feedback from we students.Apparently few have negative markings,I am not surprised.I dont think anyone is as a matter of fact.
I'll come back to the trip topic,talking about the department is pointless.A group of about 48 accompanied by a departement faculty will be leaving to Mumbai on the 20th of this month.Though the main concern was on the ONGC training I really doubt what they will be able to train us in esp considering we are too many to be handled in a few hours.Coming to the brighter part of the trip is the whole fun journey and the madness.I am looking forward to this final trip of engineering :) Only thing I will miss is having a damn camera for myself.Its probably the only thing I want so badly.Canon EOS1000D / Nikon D3000 is still a dream till I start working.Wish I could just win a lottery someday and pick it up asap.I am still debating to make up my mind on one of them.Nikon is slightly priced more than the Canon.The wait is getting longer..
Meanwhile engineering is coming to an end,I am hoping the end is good.Apparently we have the graduation day coming up in the first week of May,thats the next thing I am looking forward to.Things will be really quick after that and soon I will be writing the exams starting from May 26th.Best part is that this time there is no study leave even,the last working day is May 22nd. Kaise Hoga ?!
After watching Mumbai Indians literally raping the Bangalore Royal Challengers, I am not keeping my hopes high on RCB! I am sure they will fail eventually.Kolkata Knight Riders,another team that I have been offering my support has failed tremendously over the last two seasons.Maybe that will continue this season as well, bloody bad luck! I pity SRK,once he disowns the team I shall stick to RCB.Kochi IPL team controversy is making waves even before they could start playing next year.Wonder who will be the brand ambassador,probably one of the two oldies - Mammooty and Mohanlal.They must consider John Abraham and Asin too though they dont have that much fan following in comparison to Lal and Mammooty.
Travel and Living show ' Living with a superstar - SRK ' is coming to their series end soon and with that I wont have anything to watch on tv.This week I missed the episode on account of my hectic project work at CPRI.It totally slipped my mind,all thanks to Youtube I watched it today and now I am in peace.
I'll take leave for now,this post is a part of my 15 min break from Internals study.I was too bored to continue so thought I'll come up here for a change!
Sayonara!

Comfortably Numb
I have been thinking about how much life has changed during my years in the city.Right from being a Gulf return teenager to now being 22 and reaching the very end of engineering.Lot of things have changed over time.There used to be a point when I used to play cricket all day long,even wait for that 10 minute break in school skip lunch just so that I could run to the ground to play.I used to write poems,I kept that book alive till my second year engineering after which I burnt it.Maybe coz it had too many emotions involved,I had decided to let go off it finally.I had this habit of writing in my personal diary right from 8th grade.nothing was too personal during that phase.It got very personal when I was in 11th/12th,I always enjoyed writing.I have always been a very non responsive person,I keep a few of my thoughts to myself.It helps at times and sometimes I get very frustrated but yeah I would prefer keeping them within.I am not an open book,I used to be some point of time.I used to tell everyone everything about me.Maybe I have learnt to shut up,when I realise that there is no necessity involved I might as well push that thought down than bring it up.My diary used to be my trash can,I used to dump every single emotion and feeling I had.I used to go back to reading those pages a few months down the lane and still be able to relive that moment.
I totally stopped writing my diary,sometimes I feel its coz I dont have time.Maybe I stopped making time for it or maybe I dont want to write personal stuff anymore.Now I hide my thoughts from the diary even.Am just kidding,I dont feel that need/connection anymore when I pen down my thoughts.I'v had an individual even read my entire diary.Its the kinda feeling that you dont enjoy after sometime.I realised that later and then I totally disliked the fact that someone even talks/touches my diary.One fine day I burnt all my diaries and every other hand written stuff I kept safe in my drawer.
I didnt think of writing a post but somewhere along I started to type.
Coming to my blog history,I had my first blog in 11th.My mum always thought that I waste a lot of time on my blog,I actually used to.I had everything changed in the template and made a lot of changes in the html coding.I had things right from a chat box,weekly video,flickr stream,scrolling words on the page in a random fashion.I still stick to the promise I made when I started my first,I will continue blogging.
There is always a small part of me I blog once in a while,these are the things I dont discuss/want to discuss.
...And like always, 'There is a little part of me I keep to myself,I prefer it that way'.
Meanwhile let me see what I have been upto..
1.Still following SRK's tweets on Twitter,thats the only thing I do on twitter.
2.Project work going on but still a lot of confusion.
3.I am yet to start working on the seminar topic,seminar due on April 8th.
Utilization of time : While I had to wait for my phone to charge,I thought I might as well blog.

Biding my Time..
The excitement to be in Goa this month end is 'Intense'.I think everyone has that on their minds from the past couple of days,the pain is to wait for another two weeks to see it happen.I am more than just excited to be making this trip the second time in my engineering life,BMS didnt turn out to be a boring journey I must say!
I am no more a hostelite,I used to be a part of the International Hostel BMS.Though I started staying out with my grandmum at my own place on airport road I used to still visit that place.Lot of fond memories and a few great friends,I shall not take names though.So yes, I finally gave up my room in the hostel.I dont think I will go back to staying there anymore even for a night.I wont say anymore,I might just get a little emotional.I miss a few friends..
Coming back to the list of things I want to do/things I want.
GOA
If I am in India, I would like to have this yearly getaway to Goa either to attend the New year Sunburn or maybe Christmas!
Wildlife in Africa
I used to love watching the Animal planet and the National Geographic channel all the time.My dad used to hate the fact that I watch programmes featuring snakes.Me and my bro always enjoyed any show related to Wildlife.So this goes in my list too,trip to Africa someday in the future just for the sake of wildlife! Well before going for this trip I want to get my Canon EOS 1000D / Nikon D3000. I am not making the trip otherwise.Wildlife photography - Bliss!
RayBan Shades
This particular type of shades from Rayban, I have been wanting this from a really long time.I see it very rarely and everytime I do I pick it up,try them on and keep it back telling myself ' Someday I will come back for this '.
Underwater Sea diving
I dont know if I'll ever do this or maybe I might just back out at the last minute.I dont know swimming but the interest to see marine life that close is too much.Maybe I will try this if I gather enough courage at that moment of time.
Thats it for now.
Internals day after,so rest laters! :)
Goodnight!

Fortnight update - I
IPL fever is back once again.I dont know if it holds the same hype as it did last year.I havent watched one match this season so I am guessing I can do without it.Last time I watched most of the matches,had a few silly bets,went to the Koramangala indoor stadium to watch the finals on the big screen.This time,I dont feel the same.I dont favour any particular team but I really hope Kolkata knight riders give some good comeback.After all the effort and pain SRK has put/gone thru it would be nice to see them reach finals for his sake alone.I am okay with anything.I can imagine the scene back in the bms hostel.Throughout the match there will be betting and beers! Thats all that happens throughout the ipl season,the nearby bars make money and individual pockets turn inside out! I am glad I am not part of the hostel madness anymore.Phew!
I havent had a relief in my daily schedule but yet I make time now to check on my small fish tank and make sure I watch Travel and Living with a Superstar - Shahrukh Khan every friday at 9pm.Thats the only time I watch tv in a week.I never go near the tv otherwise and I am very sure that after 7 weeks once the series is over I will not go back to watching tv again.It doesnt interest me these days especially when I can watch movies on the laptop.
8th semester project is still a pain in the ass.Whoever told me 8th sem is easy, seriously what were you thinking?! That you have just 4 subjects instead of 8 or that you have to attend classes only thrice a week?! Which part of the last semester is good?! The only thing I can think of right now is the proposed Goa trip happening with classmates.Nothing else is interesting and the much awaited BMS fest too wont be worth the wait.I think we had a set of great seniors who took the Utsav fest seriously.For now, let Utsav happen in bangalore and I will go back to re-live Goa.
Last time I returned from Goa, I always had the thought that it must happen again.There is something about that place that keeps playing in your head.It maybe the calm beaches,the narrow roads that lead to the beaches,the crowd,the shacks,etc.Few years later I want to get up one morning,pick up a handful of friends and say 'We are going to Goa' , total Dil Chahtha hai style.Damn but I dont have a Mercedes convertible,like the one Aamir khan drove! I'll manage with some car then.
If I had more than 24 hours a day, I would really appreciate that at this point of time.I wanted to re-start my habit of reading but I still havent made time for that.I pick up a newspaper in the morning and then manage to read it throughout the day in the canteen/class/bus journeys.I find the Economic times and the Financial Chronicle more interesting to read than the Times of India.Few classmates thought that part was a little weird.Maybe I am too tired going thru pages of Bangalore times page 3 parties that I totally gave up on reading the main newspaper as well.I have this book by title 'Chicken Soup',its a set of short stories.I am yet to start on that,right now I'll just finish the Mens health magazine I picked up last week.
I watched this tamil movie at home.
Vinaythaandi Varuvaya,sweet movie! Something toally different,the climax I thought was great.Not the usual predicted ending,it was a great watch.
I was told that is was way better than Varaanam Ayiram.I dont think so but yeah I would rate this movie a decent 4/5.AR Rahman music definitely adds to the credit!
I'll post maybe after I am done with my internals and prior to Goa trip.
Till then , sayonara!
